In daily life, sometimes it is found that the water from the faucet still drips after tightening, and it drips continuously from the faucet outlet or joint, which not only causes a lot of waste, but also sometimes its noise can cause certain troubles. In fact, the structure of the faucet is very simple, and the repair of water leakage can be done by oneself. Generally speaking, the problem of water leakage can be solved by replacing the sealing gasket such as the axial gasket or triangular sealing gasket inside the faucet. However, before proceeding with the renovation, the main switch of the faucet at home needs to be turned off.

Regarding the repair of water leakage at the faucet joint, the reason for the leakage is nothing more than the damage to the sealing tape of the faucet (fixing screw). Therefore, as long as the water faucet is removed with a pliers and a new waterproof tape is rolled back onto the fixed screw, the following is the repair process:

First, tighten the faucet and use a pliers to turn the faucet counterclockwise to remove it. Next, roll the threaded hole outward and wind the threaded part with wind printed tape clockwise for 5-6 times.

Check if the faucet has been properly adjusted and threaded in clockwise with a water bolt pliers. After installation, turn on the main switch and try to confirm if there is still water leakage.

Even if the faucet is tightened, the reason for water leakage is:

1. Reason for water leakage at the water outlet: It is caused by the wear of the shaft gasket inside the faucet. Use pliers to loosen and remove the gland bolt, remove the shaft gasket with a clamp, and replace it with a new shaft gasket.

2. Reason for water leakage in the lower gap of the faucet bolt: It is caused by the wear of the triangular sealing gasket inside the gland. You can loosen the screw and remove the bolt head, then loosen the gland and remove it. Then, take out the triangular seal on the inner side of the gland and replace it with a new one.

3. Leakage at the joint of the connecting pipe: Generally, the cap nut is loose, and you can retighten the cap nut or replace it with a new U-shaped sealing gasket.

If a decrease in water volume is found in the faucet, it may be due to water leakage, as the water stop disk of the single gun faucet is stuck with sand and gravel. This phenomenon is still caused by a repairman disassembling the faucet for sorting, but if the rubber pad is damaged, it must be replaced. Generally speaking, the correct use of a faucet refers to not rotating the faucet too tightly. The soy sauce faucet rubber pad can maintain a lifespan of 7 to 8 years. However, the hot water faucet can reduce its lifespan due to heat expansion and contraction, so it is generally recommended that the rubber pads on both sides of the hot and cold parts can be replaced regularly together.
